iain watson, bbc news, liverpool. earlier, our political correspondent, damian grammaticas, gave us the latest from liverpool. even before yesterday's budget, which to all intents and purposes it pretty much was that, they were going to focus on what they call a fairer, greenerfuture and i think in many ways they will feel that this has even sharpened up the focus on that. in that they believe there are issues of fairness they can attack the government on for what was announced yesterday, the distribution of those tax cuts, where the vast majority of the benefits accrue to the very richest, people earning over £150,000, over £1 million, getting many benefits from it or large tax reductions. those on the lowest incomes getting much smaller ones. the government will say that is because if you are on a higher income you pay more tax but labour saying that the fairness of this is what they will focus on. and the issue about who should be really footing the bill here so looking at things like that top rate of tax, that 4
